There are millions of people who want to live in HOAs.
Why shouldn’t they have the freedom to live with and enjoy other like-minded people?
Please point out where I said people should not be able to join an HOA if they wish.
Excepting certain basic human rights, I have no problem with people having the freedom to sign away their rights to others and to then live under their subjugation and control. I just hope no one who joins an HOA expects me to come to their defense when it all goes pear-shaped for them.
I am very familiar with HOAs, and I stand by my comments regarding my personal [lack of] desire to live under one.
